Social Media's Impact on Business and Society: A Study

Virtually every area of our lives has been profoundly influenced by technology, and Internet is quickly becoming one of the primary platforms for youngsters seeking to socialize. Because of its insatiable ability to get the information sought in a fraction of seconds, Internet has emerged as a necessity for accessing information for teenagers (and people of different ages). As a result, it has become a prerequisite educational tool that parents are finding difficult to refute to their children. Additionally, there has been a rise of social media usage, which has made it possible not only to voice one's thoughts and views but also, to connect with like-minded individuals all over the world. Social media platforms can be beneficial or detrimental, depending on the user and his or her intentions, as well as on the members' alertness and participation.
